Just north of Atlanta sits the adjacent counties of Cherokee, Dawson, Forsyth, and Pickens. In 1990, together, they had a total white population of 154,000, and a total black population of only 1,900. Even though those demographics would be indicative of such, black Atlantans never mentioned that Forsyth was just one county of what was likely the only four-county " Sundown Region " within the South.

When the birthplace of the 2nd Klan movement (1915-1944) was Atlanta, and the birthplace of the 3rd Klan movement (1946-present) was also Atlanta, you can say that Atlanta was the nation's foremost Klan sesspool during the 20th century. How is it a capital of culture in the nation when you can't find anything informative on the net about the actual cultural history of Atlanta.

Why are black people racist and then say white people are? White people are not privileged, black people are. Black people have words they can sing about that if I just say the word I'm called a racist. Black people get jobs and positions only because of there color. Black people are such a small percentage of the country, but you would think they are 50% of the country when you look at TV or the movies. Black people get to have groups like the 100 Black Men of Atlanta than are focused on only helping black people. What would happen if a white group focused on only helping white people, you would call it some type of hateful name.

I wouldn't say Posi P is dumb...just uninformed and blinded by white privileged . Id love to have you on my podcast Posi P to hear your thoughts and understand why you feel as you do. How is it that you don't see that the United States IS a group of white folks who focus primarily on helping white people. Its like seeing a white board with a black marker and complaining why is black the only color used...not realizing the WHOLE board IS WHITE! 2020©Luna.E.Reid

@@PosiP Not really sure why rather I have or have not dated a white person matters...but yes I have. I And yes I have a larger amount of melanin in my skin. And I would trade the privilege of having the ability to not be scrutinized hunted down assumed to be 3/5 the of a human being...be able to make it in this world with a GED when my other counter part'd have to get a master's or PhD to match my economic status. Racism is not something a Black American can ever exert on a white American because Blacks do not have enough economic/systematic/govenmental power to do so. Blacks can be PREJUDICE YES...But racist. NOT HERE IN AMERICA. I tell you what ...you want to say NIGGA so bad I'll sell you a "Black pass on the word NIGGA" $100k annually. Hit me up and I'll let you know where to send the payment Posi P. I'll make sure you I get a rush delivery to you! Oh and by the way my Uncle Aunts cousins and grandmother are all white and have no desire for the Black pass...they are comfortable with their witness and understand the privilege s they have over their Black family here in America. Racism is a world issue Posi P...it's a SYSTEM. Being PREJUDICE usually stems from prejudging others based upon past experiences of others for most Blacks...they have experienced white first hand Most whites do not have to deal with Blacks if they do not want to. Blacks do not have that opportunity. You guys OWN & CONTROL EVERYTHING...Especially our TIME...WEALTH... HEALTH...From the time your born your set up and taught that you are more valuable EVERYWHERE in American Society....yet deep down you feel guilt because you realize your not ...only materially... financially...America has us all fooled on our "VALUE". There is only 1 % of you that are controlling the ENTIRE world yet majority of whites are advantaged over non whites...and Blacks are "Bottom Cast" the system of Slavery set it up to BE. And the prison system is a clear reflection of this. 1 question Posi....If Blacks are a minority why do we make up a Majority of the prison population and not the court or justice system? Ponder that my white brother.

​@@SOULFISTICATED with that attitude how you expect to get anywhere in life. Wasting time and money on a college education, only if you are going to be a doctor or a lawyer. Anything else and you are wasting time. And time is more valuable than money. People need to start a company and not work for others if they want to get somewhere in life, Tyler Perry. The SBA has a special program and grants to get minorities into business ownership, have you ever thought about starting your own business and creating your own future? I will tell you this, as a business I have no idea of the color of your skin, only that you can help me make money. Sucks, but in this world you need money, and lots of it. Don't think of yourself as a "black" anything. Why should a white person build a business, own a home, and spoil their kids and not you? Here in Atlanta black people with bad attitudes are everywhere. They think that for some reason I shouldn't be here. Anyone go to the Phoenix night club in Atlanta back in the day. I was the white guy. LOL. The way I think of it is people from around the world all want the same thing. A place to raise their kids and the money to do it. Most people don't like others that don't look like them until they get to know them. Here's one thing for you. As a white man, no way was I going to cut myself off from any 9ussy of any flavor.

For starters, there already is a white group that is only focused on helping white people; the KKK/Neo-Nazis. There's your group. Secondly, the word that you are referring to, which I can assume is "nigga" is a word used to refer to another black person so if you're not black, that word isn't for you and you have no reason to use it. I don't know what you watch that makes you think that black people are heavily represented in Hollywood, but you are sadly mistaken. I also don't know what makes you believe that black people only get a job just because we are black. Care to elaborate?
